High Notes, Vol 8 No 33, November 02 2007
From the Principal
High Talent
Congratulations to both the top grades of basketball for their courageous victories on Saturday.
They are proof that perseverance, skill and team work can overcome physical disadvantages. Well
done too to our 1st cricket team who bowled so well against Joeys and stayed patient for a long
time with the bat.
Main Building Staircase Leadlight Windows
The Year 12 (2006) gift to the school has been installed. The leadlight windows on the first
floor landing complement the existing centrepiece window completed as an HSC work some time ago.
Thank you to Phillip and Valda Roser for seeing the job through to the end and negotiating with
the craft people to make this vision a reality. The gift was both very appropriate and timely.
Staff changes
After a selection process undertaken by Mr Walker I am pleased to announce student welfare
positions for 2008. Congratulations to Mr Steve Codey who will be taking over from Ms Walles as
Year Adviser for Year 9 as of term 4, and to Mr Hugh Howey who will be Assistant Year Adviser
(Year 7, 2008) working with Ms Susanna Lim.
Swipe On Attendance Monitoring
The trials for swipe attendance monitoring are going ahead with all years now swiping to log in
their attendance. It is our intention to make the process permanent from the beginning of next
year if the number of swiping outlets can meet the demand from 1100 boys.
Rugby Restructure
Following on from last week’s announcement about the new Junior School Coaching
Coordinator’s position, I am pleased to announce that Mr Paul Scrivener has agreed to take
over as Head Coach for the 1st XV in 2008. To support Paul in his role we will be seeking the
services of a Team Manager for First Grade Rugby and two Assistant Coaches, one each for the
backs and forwards. I am planning to have a Defensive Coach for rugby at all senior grades as
well. Preparing a team for a GPS season is too difficult a task for one person. Additional school
resources will need to be devoted to the sport and we will be calling on the Rugby Committee and
High Rugby Friends to assist in raising additional funds to support the program. We will be
seeking technical and coaching assistance from Sydney University Sport. We see a seamless future
pathway for talented rugby players to articulate into Sydney University Rugby, having been
mentored by that club during their enrolment at High.
New Pianos
The music staff have been trying out the two new pianos purchased for the music rooms by the P
& C. I would like to thank the P & C Executive for their vision and efficiency this year,
particularly in the way they have disbursed P & C funds for worthwhile school projects. Our
music students will benefit from this donation for a generation. Targeted P & C donations can
really help specific school activities. Are you a financial member of the P & C?
Student Mentors
I need more volunteers from boys in Year 8 now. We need to make our twenty new students feel
welcome when they come into Year 9 next year. I would like to think that at least all our SRC
members would be student mentors, but all boys are welcome to volunteer. Participation will earn
Student Awards Scheme points. I have 10 volunteers from Year 10. I would really like another 10
so that each new student has a mentor. Year 7 into 8 is covered. Thanks boys. We had too many
volunteers. We will need you next year!
London: School sports plan to combat looming obesity crisis
14 October AFP
The government on Monday launched a campaign for greater participation in sports at school to
combat the growing threat of obesity that the health secretary said was comparable to global
warming. According to government-commissioned research half of all Britons will be obese in 25
years if current trends are not halted; furthermore, 86 percent of men will be overweight in 15
years and 70 percent of women in 20, it suggested. "For the first time, we are clear about the
magnitude of the problem: we are facing a potential crisis on the scale of climate change, and it
is in everybody's interest to turn things round," said Health Secretary Alan Johnson. Prime
Minister Gordon Brown launched a new 100-million-pound programme Monday aiming to increase from
two to five the number of hours of physical education in schools per week. Some 2.3 million
pounds has already been set aside in the last 10 years to increase the number of hours of sport
in school. But Schools Secretary Ed Balls said sports facilities alone would not stop the
phenomenon in its tracks. "There's a role for schools in showing leadership," he said. "But it's
what parents and kids do at home and after school which matters most.
[Given that Australians have a lifestyle not that dissimilar to the British, we have cause for
concern here too about obesity. This school has at its heart the healthy mind, healthy body
principle. Those parents reluctant to allow boys to participate in team sports for two seasons
might consider how their decision could affect the long term well being of their sons. Good
habits learned at school can carry someone throughout their life. In addition, team skills are
important vocational training qualities. This news from London further legitimises our school
policy of three training sessions per week for all sports.]

SHS Old Boys Union
Did you know?
Did you know that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade can trace its origins to the
Department of External Affairs that was first established in 1901? Since that date, five old boys
of Sydney High have headed the Department with responsibility for foreign or external affairs:
Sir John McLaren (1887), 1929-1933 (as Secretary of the Prime Minister's Department); Sir Alan
Watt (1918), 1950-1954; Sir James Plimsoll (1933), 1965-1970; Sir Alan Renouf (1936), 1974-1977;
and Dr Peter Wilenski (1955), 1992-1993. James Plimsoll and Peter Wilenski have also acted as
Australia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in 1959-1963 and 1989-1991
respectively.

Charities
The Children’s Medical Research Institute and Jeans for Genes, being a nominated SBHS
charity, are organising a new fundraiser program, Gift Wrap for a Cause. This year gift wrapping
will take place at Myer Bondi Junction, Sydney City and Parramatta from 7-24 December and at
Rhodes Shopping Centre from 15-24 December. The idea is simple – customers purchase a
Christmas item and Jeans for Genes volunteers wrap it for a small donation. Currently they are
seeking volunteers who would like to assist staff gift wrap at the above locations. This is a
perfect opportunity for students to fulfil their Duke of Edinburgh community service or receive
community service award points for their school award system. Students need to be 16 years or
older. Information and clear instructions will be provided to students before they commence. A
certificate and reference letter (when requested) will be forwarded to students for inclusion in
their resume. For further information and to apply go to the website and click on How Can I Help/School

From the Canteen
We know how busy life can be for today’s parents, which is why we’d especially like
to thank our loyal volunteers for their contribution to the smooth running of the canteen.
Volunteer help is vital in ensuring healthy food for our boys and an ongoing income stream to the
P&C for allocation to worthy school projects.
We’d like to say thank you by rewarding our volunteers with the chance to win a $10 Canteen
voucher for their sons.
All volunteers have to do is turn up for duty as usual and sign the duty roster book. A draw will
be held each month for the lucky voucher winner. Remember, if you find you can’t make your
shift, just call a fellow parent on the roster and arrange a swap.

Fitness Assessment September 2007
The PDHPE faculty has given cardiovascular fitness extra importance this year with the usual 10%
of a student’s assessment devoted to their overall fitness profile as well as 10% for their
cardiovascular fitness and their 1.6Km performances during the 2007. This was done to reward
those students who maintained a high level of aerobic fitness during the year as well as those
students who made the effort to improve as the year went on. This practice will continue next
year so that a student who gains a distinction or high distinction in PDHPE is an example of a
high level of personal fitness.
For an assessment of 90% or better, a student was required to run the 1.6km in a time of 6 mins
30 secs, approximately, depending on the age of the student. An assessment of 50% or better,
required a time of between 7 and 8 minutes, depending on age. A result of 10% or less means the
1.6km run was completed in a time greater than 9 mins 30 seconds.
There were some outstanding performances again this semester including Andreas Purcal (7T) 6m
07s, Sam Lane (8.5) 5m 28s, Michael Ambrose (9.1) 5m 24s and Harrison Lane (10.3) 5m 08s
* Fastest time held by Paul Watzlaff of 5m 00s set in 2003.
There were also some great improvements during the year as students tried to improve on their
personal best. This aspect is as important as recognising the high achievers. Notable Year 7
performances included Felix Wu (7E) 11m 14s > 8m 59s, Michael Lee (7F) 12m 10s > 9m 23s,
Max Jones (7M) 7m 43s > 6m 31s, Jamison Tsai (7R) 11m 08s > 8m 46s, Shubash Quazi (7S) 10m
06s > 7m 56s and Toby Funston (7T) 11m 00s > 8m 21.

Sydney High Water Polo
Water Polo Returns to High
Waverly 2nds 20 v 2 High
Captain James Menzies led an enthusiastic team for High's first water polo game in three years,
on Saturday. After only one training session High had an inevitably dismal start, trailing at
half time by 13-0. The third quarter saw a vast improvement with only a 2-1 deficit, and 7-2
second half, with both goals going to the captain. High has a few points to work on, but had an
encouraging re-entry into the water polo competition.

This week against Kings
1st and 2nd grade play Kings at Kings in their new
multi-million dollar gym this Saturday. Both teams are coming off two very good wins at Home. It
has been a long time since we got a double home win (firsts and seconds both winning), can we do
it away??? Be there to see it happen!!! Remember High aims to win over 50% of their games in
firsts and seconds this season! Currently the seconds haven’t lost a single game and the
firsts are at 50%! Be there to support them!
Mr Hayman's Player of the Week: Stephen Dong
The first grade suffered a
disappointing loss to Grammar last week. Determined to lead by example, captain Stuart Sugito
held a meeting with the team about having self belief and backing themselves confidently in
games. The team took responsibility for their actions practising as individuals on their scoring
moves and shooting endlessly preparing for St Josephs during the week. The preparation paid
off with every player on the team scoring. Perfect practice = confidence. Defensively High
took 11 charges and out-rebounded a much taller St Josephs side. St Josephs had 3 unsportsmanlike
fouls and a disqualifying foul in the second half. The first grade side is continuing a tradition
of relentless persistence and courage to play within the rules, take a charge or draw a foul from
a larger opponent and make the free throw they have practised. Well done boys. A win this week
will make up for Grammar…
In particular one player had an outstanding game. Stephen Dong scored 37 points, 11 rebounds,
5 steals. He shot 17/22 from the free throw line. His preparation paid off. All players
should learn from this example and put in the work instead of complaining to or about the ref!

15As Match Report
The game started off with High taking the lead. The play we were taught gave us easy points and
Joeys had to resort to fouling us to stop us from scoring. Joeys had 8 fouls in the first 10
minutes giving us easy baskets. Our free throws improved dramatically from last week with no one
missing both free throws on any occasion. Overall our teamwork and our patience on court improved
from last week and that’s what won it for us this week. The guards worked the team very
well and the forwards grabbed lots of rebounds with everyone playing their part. Special mention
must go to Nikhil for playing a very strong position at low post this week scoring 14 points. A
13 point win is the biggest win we’ve had and we hope more wins come our way in future
games.

1st Grade Match Report
Score: 94-55 (Win) Top Scorers: S.Dong 37, K.Iyer 12,
J.Tassell 10
First grade came up against a very physical Joeys side on the weekend, hungry after a
disappointing 3-point loss against Grammar. Dinghua Xiao and Ping Du matched the physicality of
the Joeys forwards early in the game, grabbing crucial rebounds on both ends of the court. Midway
through the first quarter Joeys got out to a 10 point lead through a couple of easy transition
baskets, but numerous free throws from Stephen Dong and solid defence from Stephen Yoon brought
the margin down, with a free throw after the buzzer putting High 1 point ahead going into the
second quarter. From there on it was all one way with High blowing the game wide open through
great long range shooting from Josh Tassel and Kartik Iyer. With a 14 point lead at half time,
High came out firing once again, knocking down their shots in the 3rd quarter to further expand
the lead out to 25 points after 3 quarters. The fourth quarter saw some brilliant individual
skills via Stephen Dong, whose amazing 37 points thrilled and entertained the massive crowd. We
were relentless in further pushing out the lead, with the margin jumping out to 39 points at full
time. Thanks to all the guys who came out to watch us play on Saturday and cheered positively for
High.

SBHS Cricket
Day 1 of the 2007-08 season was a guide as to the impact of the concentration on basics of
cricket during last season. With many new boys taking on cricket we were faced with the dilemma
of wanting our teams to be competitive in the GPS competitions as well as being the sport that
the boys could enjoy participating in. With that consideration we adopted a back to basics
approach with technical support on a limited basis whilst we developed coaching support for our
teams.
Last Saturday in our first day on the fields we saw some encouraging results, as well as
identifying areas where we can direct our coaching energies in taking further steps to help our
boys become more proficient in the great game of cricket. Whilst some of the younger teams faced
large scores to overcome, at no time did we see High teams give up and to the credit of all,
(except for some absentees who let a couple of the teams down), our results herein are
encouraging.
Well done to all concerned and my best wishes for our Group 1 teams, several which are poised on
the possibility of victories.
Oh, by the way! That 14C team from last year with 11 wins from 14 matches and now the 15B team
not only won their trial match against Grammar, but continued on and was our first team to record
a victory for this season. These lads have “attitude” and that is a “winning
attitude”. They don’t look for excuses, they accept minor hiccups in the field and
when batting, they work as a team and most of all they have self belief in their abilities and
that of their team mates. Nothing seems to faze them and perhaps some of our cricketers could
learn some valuable lessons in talking with, or even watching them!
I umpired this match and, after posting a moderate 139 runs, they were looking down the barrel of
a run barrage by St Joseph’s when they put on 40 runs without loss in the first 5 overs.
Some ordinary fielding saw some possible chances, missed but out of the blue some unbelievable
catching, tight bowling and hustle in the field saw them claw back and then grind Joey’s to
extinction in their 30 overs. Never once did they think they would be defeated. The best I could
do was just walk away at the end of the game shaking my head in admiration of a group of boys who
do our school proud.

Sharma 3/35 (15 overs), Bangalore 3/76 and Pedneker bowled steadily for 11 overs finishing with
0/28. In to bat and High then paid the price of not following the team’s match plan which
cost it 3 unnecessary wickets and has left the remaining batsmen a job to do on Day 2. No match

Australian 5-Highs Carnival- Billets Required
We now have one month to the Carnival which is being hosted by High this year. We need to
accommodate some 52 boys from other States and the response thus far has been to say the least
very poor. As we expect billet support when we travel interstate to Melbourne as we will this
year with the Barbaris Cup we will be looked after by that school. It is our turn to reciprocate
in these annual events which the boys enjoy as well as make new friends and learn new skills.
Members of the 1st and 2nd XI as well as the cricket community as a whole can email me and advise
as to how many billets you could assist with. It may only be one, but every offer helps. Where
boys from other teams assist we will endeavour to arrange for them to be included in the
week’s events.
Billets are required for Sunday night 2nd Dec until and including Thursday night 6th Dec and all
teams will depart from Sydney Friday evening 7th Dec. All nominations are required by no later
than Friday 23rd. November to email
